EN: second cousin
This is where the family tree gets complicated. This is the cousin you meet at a massive reunion and you both need a flowchart to figure out how you're related. Your parents are first cousins. You share great-grandparents. Basically, they're 'kamag-anak pa rin' (still a relative).
From "pinsan" (cousin) and "makalawa" (a variant related to "ikalawa" or "twice removed").
This term is understood but less commonly used in casual conversation than the more general "pinsan". People might just say "malayong pinsan" (distant cousin).
🇵🇭 Nalaman ko na lang na pinsang-makalawa ko pala ang bago naming kapitbahay.
🇺🇸 I just found out that our new neighbor is actually my second cousin.
🇵🇭 Mahirap nang i-trace ang aming ugnayan dahil pinsang-makalawa na kami.
